All Chapters of Love Behind the Lens: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Adira I wasn't expecting Sebastian to actually reach out but he did. The same night I met him and boy was I surprised. After all the caterers cleared out and Adrian locked up I was unwinding upstairs in my pj's, listening to music with Charlie when my phone dinged. 'Hi. It's me. I hope I'm not waking you.''No, I'm still up unwinding.''Well that's good. I was hoping to see if you were free Sunday night for dinner?'I got up and walked over to my computer to pull up my schedule. I didn't have another shoot until Wednesday and had only penciled in time with Adrian and the other photographers from the show this weekend.'Sure I can be available Sunday. I'm just wrapping up with the aftermath of the show this weekend. What time were you thinking?''Can you be ready by 7? I can pick you up at your place?''Sure, 7 is great. You can pick me up at the gallery - the third floor is actually my studio and apartment.''Do you ever get a break from work that way?''LOL Yea I do. I ha

AdiraI was looking through the pieces that they'd send me for the lingerie shoot and I couldn't believe some of these little scraps were considered lingerie - especially once I saw the price tag. But whatever made the people happy I guess. I had decided to do these at my house. There were so many more backgrounds and as I went through the different pieces I figured out where I wanted to do each shot. It would take me a few days because I wanted to do a few different shots at sunrise and one at dusk with the natural lighting. Sebastian and I had talked about this contract along with the others that I had coming up, but I didn't tell him I'd be modeling. I only told him that it would be a few days of heavy work for this contract so I might not be as attentive to my phone for the few days I was shooting these. The first day of shooting was harder to get into the head space. I couldn't figure out what kind of look I should have or how to have a 'sexy, come hither' look on my fa

AdiraI stopped and got coffee and some fresh pastries and cut fruit, enough to share with the few others that I knew would be at Sebastian's office when I arrived though I knew I would be the only one eating the fruit. Sebastian drank his coffee the same way my brother did - black with three sugars and I wondered if it was a military thing. I couldn't drink it like that- I always had to have some milk in it - light and sweet. I'd left Charlie at the apartment this morning as I'd been here before and felt comfortable enough to come on my own. I'd been doing that more and more recently. Sebastian was actually waiting in the lobby for me and greeted me with a big hug and a quick kiss on the lips before taking the food from me. We rode the elevators up to his floor and I greeted everyone along the way. We went to his office first were we each picked out a few pasteries and then he took the rest to their breakroom for the others to enjoy. I sat on the chair across from his enjoyi

Adira I swear sometimes there was not enough hours in the day. I was sitting in the airport waiting for my plane back home with Charlie sitting at my feet while I reviewed the photos I'd taken today. I'd flown in late last night after having a goodbye lunch with Sebastian and had been up with the sun. I made a mental note to come back to San Antonio when I had some free time and do some shoots. The hotel I'd been shooting only allowed me to explore a little of Riverwalk and the town but what I'd seen was beautiful. I'd asked some of the natives about the city and was told there was so much more to see. You could walk the lenth of the Riverwalk, or even take a boat ride along it. Then they said there are also the missions from before Texas had been annexed into the United States. I could definately find plenty to keep me busy here.My phone buzzed and I picked it up to see Sebastian messaged me. 'Have a safe flight babe. Try and get some sleep when you get home and I'll catc

AdiraI walked into the kitchen laughing at Charlie who was trying to lick Gio in greeting. He had just pulled the lasagna out of the oven.I leaned over Charlie to give Gio a one armed hug, my other hand holding the wine I'd brought. "It smells delicious like always. Charlie agrees," I said laughing again. "Thank you bella. If you want to take it to the table I'll be right behind you with the dinner," He replied smiling and nodding his head towards the dinning room. I was bursting at the seams to talk to him about my decision to include Petra in the show, plus we had another charity event for his company for July 4th that we needed to talk about."So I decided to... oh" I started as I entered the dinning room where Valentine was currently standing, looking a little ... I don't know upset maybe? "Hi. I didn't realize you were joining us tonight Valentine. I didn't see your car out front. How have you been?" I asked setting down the wine on the table. Valentine started to a
